In discretization of a continuous variable its numerical value range is divided into a few intervals that are used in classification. For example, Na¨ıve Bayes can benefit from...
Supermarkets lose millions of pounds every year through lost trading and stock wastage caused by the failure of refrigerated cabinets. Therefore, a huge commercial market exists fo...
The naive Bayesian classifier provides a simple and effective approach to classifier learning, but its attribute independence assumption is often violated in the real world. A numb...
The max k-armed bandit problem is a recently-introduced online optimization problem with practical applications to heuristic search. Given a set of k slot machines, each yielding p...
We provide a worst-case analysis of selective sampling algorithms for learning linear threshold functions. The algorithms considered in this paper are Perceptron-like algorithms, ...
